Abstract
In the wake of Covid-19, frontline professionals faced challenging work conditions, bringing increased stress. Health coaching may be effective in improving the success of employee wellness programs (EWPs). This study investigated the efficacy of an EWP implemented at the University of Vermont and University Medical Center. This focus group-based study explored health coach perspectives on a novel EWP. The study consisted of two focus group sessions conducted over Zoom, followed by a phenomenological analysis. Four themes emerged. Results indicated that the program model may be an effective intervention in the university and hospital setting. Recommendations resulted for program modifications in accessibility, outreach, structure, and content. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and and improve the health of frontline workers.
